NO Manifestos antagonise others: No mention of others…
NO Manifestos inspire being: No attitude or way of being defined…

Score: 3 out of 9
To improve the Manifesto Score, here’s some suggestions…
This is a typical manifesto that is really a set of principles. Therefore the score of 3.
A set of principles is useful and would be more powerful as part of a bigger context. For instance, the Ten Commandments sits inside the bigger context of the Bible.
I think I need to go back my Bible. Or at least expand on the manifesto of The Year of the Manifesto.
Is that score about right? If you’ve got a list of principles as your manifesto, how could you create a bigger context around this? Add the other principles to improve your score.
